Snow Cones, Roadhog

The hot summer sun blazed down, heating the sand to near scorching temperatures. The sound of the waves rolling to shore clashed with the chatter and mirth of beachgoers, seagulls crying out every now and then when they spotted a snack. A group of young children ran to and from the water with buckets of water for their sandcastle's moat, their parents keeping an eye on them from underneath their shady spots.

"Jamie, I swear if you splash me one more tim-" Cool saltwater hit (Y/n) in the face. She stood frozen, waist deep in the waves, slowly wiping her eyes clear. "You rat." She couldn't stop her laughter.

"Oooh, I'm so scared." The younger man teased, putting his one hand on his hip. He had opted to leave his prosthetic arm with their stuff on the beach, though he kept his leg. (E/c) eyes scanned the shoreline until she sighted their counterpart.

"Hey, Jamie? I have a crazy idea, a prank of sorts to play on Mako." He followed her gaze and a giant grin bloomed on his face.

"I love crazy ideas." Junkrat looked back at her as she explained and gestured to the kids building in the sand and to the large man currently napping under their rented umbrella. "You do know that he's going to kill us both, right? I mean I'm still in but I will not hesitate to trip you should he give chase." They started walking out of the water, Jamison holding his rubber duck float at his side.

"Fair enough." The two approached the kids and (Y/n) knelt down, inspecting their pile of sand and dug out channel moat. "That's a wonderful castle you've got there. I'd suppose it houses only the most cunning and brave king and the most beautiful and smart queen."

"It does!" Boasted a small boy, trying to flex his skinny little arms. (Y/n) offered one of the little girls a shell she found in the sand, smiling.

"Thank you, miss." The girl blushed shyly.

"Say, you seem to have a few buckets, mind if my friend and I borrow one? I swear on my honor I shall return it to your kingdom as soon as we're done with it." She bowed over exaggeratedly, drawing giggles from the group. A tan chubby boy handed her his bucket. "Thank you, sir knight. I think I can throw in a few snow cones upon our return." (Y/n) winked as she stood and waved goodbye to the children.

"Can I get a snow cone?" Junkrat raised an eyebrow. They walked over to their sleeping friend and knelt on either side of him.

"Maybe, if you're good." She laughed quietly. "You are in charge of water retrieval, I'll handle the sculpting." They set to work, piling up wet sand and smoothing it out until a mermaids tail covered Roadhog's legs. Junkrat had found some seaweed and placed it like hair on Roadhog's head. The two pranksters could barely keep their laughter down to quiet snickers as (Y/n) laid two sand dollars on his chest. Satisfied with their shenanigans, Junkrat went and filled the bucket one last time while (Y/n) snapped a few pictures on her camera.

"I'll see you in hell, right?" The arsonist nudged her arm. They stood over the large sleeping man, bucket raised over his head.

"Obviously, Jamie. Just do it." He dumped the water on Roadhog. The giant man shot up, wiping at his eyes to clear his vision, and when he did, he saw two figures running across the beach. The plastic bucket lay discarded beside him and he noticed the ruined sand tail that his feet destroyed. Oh, they were dead. He stood and charged after his two friends.

They could hear him thundering towards them, (Y/n) risked a glance back and laughed when she saw his face. They were so going to die. She panted and pushed to keep pace with the lanky aussie in front of her. He slowed to her pace and tried to hurry her along but Roadhog was gaining on them.

"I'm sorry, (Y/n)." She looked up at him as he stuck his foot out and tripped her. "I'll never forget you!" He called as he ran farther from her fallen form. She tried to get up again and just managed a few steps when a large arm wrapped around her exposed middle.

"MakO!" She squealed as he slung her over his shoulder. She blushed, hoping her (f/c) bikini skirt wasn't too short. "Please, I can explain! It was all Jamie's idea!" She pleaded, looking over her shoulder to see he was still chasing the young male. That's what he gets for tripping me, she smirked. One of the kids they borrowed the bucket from had watched the whole ordeal, pointing it out to her friends. (Y/n) heard them shout and a thud.

"No! You've doomed me!" Junkrat's voice cried out. Did they trip him as revenge for tripping her? A loud laugh ripped through her. She could feel Roadhog's chest rumble with deep chuckles of his own. He came to a stop, bending over and throwing the fallen Junkrat over his other shoulder. "Oh, hey there, (Y/n)." He grinned at her, letting his arms fall down Roadhog's back.

"I think I owe them all extra large snow cones." (Y/n) smirked at him, using her hands to push up and see where they were being taken. Roadhog hauled them both into the water and set (Y/n) down gently on a rock a ways off shore. He held Junkrat under his arms like a parent would a child.

"Hoggy, please I swear it was her idea." Junkrat gestured at the (h/c) woman sitting on the rock.

"But you encouraged her." Roadhogs deep voice rumbled. (Y/n) couldn't stop laughing.

"That's not fair! Just because you two are sle-" He was cut off as he was dunked under the water. "I'm going to get yo-" He sputtered before being submerged once more. Roadhog let him go and picked up (Y/n), sitting her on his shoulders. He waded back to the sandy beach as she balanced atop him.

"I owe some kids a snow cone, can you help me carry them?" (Y/n) hopped off of him and picked up the plastic bucket by their stuff. The large man nodded and they walked hand in hand to the little concession stand to buy icy treats.

"Wow!" The kids gathered around as (Y/n) and Roadhog as they handed out cherry snow cones.

"Thank you, miss!" Said the little boy who had lent her his bucket.

"Thank you guys for tripping Jamie." She smiled. She waved at them and pulled her boyfriend with her free hand back to their shady spot. They sat side by side, (Y/n) leaning against his side as she enjoyed her (fav flavor) ice treat. Roadhog kept his arm wrapped around her waist, both scanning the beach for Junkrat. He looked like a drenched cat when he finally sloshed his way back to them.

"It'll take forever to dry off." Junkrat wined, flopping down on his towel beside his friends. "Did you at least buy me a snow cone?"

"Of course, we aren't cruel." (Y/n) smiled, gesturing to the cup nestled in the sand. The blue and green ice look so good in the hot summer sun. Junkrat gladly grabbed it and took a big bite off the domed top before immediately spitting it out.

"What in the hell is that?" Both his friends were laughing.

"Mako picked it out just for you." (Y/n) wheezed.

"Toothpaste and pickle." Roadhog added, eating a spoonful of his own amaretto ice. The blond male glared at them both.

"Sometimes I wish the Junker Queen would have just ended my suffering." He hurled the ice across the sand and folded his arms in a pout.

"Here, you can finish mine." She offered him her cup. He took it and sniffed it suspiciously. "Relax, it's (fav flavor). I'll share some of Mako's." She leaned up and kissed the large man, the taste of sweet almond liqueur cool on her tongue.

"You two are gross." Junkrat pouted, slurping on his new treat.

"Maybe, but we will never beat pickle and toothpaste snow cones."
